A
multi-frequency booster with a 12 position frequency selector and a gain function.
It allows you to choose which frequency you choose to boost. That is very important
since it helps marry your guitar with whatever amp you are using. If your guitar
is too bassy, choose a high frequency to boost. If you have humbuckers and you
wish a single-coil sound, choose a higher frequency. If you have a single coil
and want to fatten it up, use a low frequency. The same goes with the amp. This
pedal can be used on a microphone for effects, bass guitar, keyboards, nylon electric,
horns, digital mixes, the combinations are endless. I build them with Germanium
transistors that are about 40 years old and have smoth clipping, not with silicon
transistors that have a tendency to sound like razor blades. Of course, I only
have a limited quantity of those transistors so you may want to take this into
consideration when ordering. This pedal has been hugely popular with L.A. based
studio musicians as well as Emmy winning producers. It is also great for live
performances. These is true Bypass and have an insert for a 9-volt wall wart and
have a LED as well for instant recognition.
